What is something you struggle with, within yourself?

Most people got internal struggle. Desire, impulsivity, discipline, mental health. List goes on.

For me, you can classify it as discipline and mental health. I got ADHD bad as hell. My difficulties are based around my focus and executive functioning.

I also obsess over a balance. You have autopilot, and you have executive functioning.

You see, I'm not dumb, but I process shit pretty slow. When I think about things through logic via inner dialogue, I have a slow speed. My planning, critical thinking skills and problem solving is much better than the average person... But I also take much longer than the average person to think of a solution. In this state I'm much more reserved socially. I don't have as much a personality.

When I use autopilot, I talk too much, and I can process things quickly but not deeply and and super intelligently. I'll process it at a surface level. I'm hyper, and charismatic, and often quite funny. Most people can only handle it in small doses because I'll get annoying though. Outwardly, you'd think I'm manic or over caffeinated. My emotions aren't effected in the sense of happiness, anxiety, irritability. I just get more hyper. I pretty much get a DeadPool personality.

That I grew up in a fucked up household, where my dad beat me and my siblings because it “felt good”, a mom who would tell me my purpose is not to share my happiness but to share her misery. A dad who tortured animals for sport and being forced to murder animals to prove my unquestioning obedience. Then being told this is all “normal” and everyone who is happy is selfish and bad. Being stopped from having any friends because outside influence is bad. Getting hit and guilt tripped for getting a girls phone number. Being picked on in school because I was socially awkward and then being blamed by my parents for it.

I ran from it all. Started my own family. Every night I tell my kids “I love you”. My four year old girl giggled “daddy I always know this you don’t need to tell me”

I tell her “my little sweetheart, i say this not to remind you, but to remind me”

I respect it, man. It's great of you to give your daughter what you never had. Remember, there is zero shame in therapy. I go as well
